So what? What does that have to do with anything? I would disagree with this statement wholeheartedly. Private enterprise did not save the midwest from the dust storms, government did. Private enterprise did not save the world from the Nazi's, government did. Private enterprise will not save us from global warming, government will. Indeed, all of these problems are generally started by private monied interest.
Without the government, those companies can't even operate, so your entire premise is totally backwards.
- quantdev 6y agoOnly technology can save us from global warming and only private enterprises like Tesla and others can develop and - more importantly - cheaply scale that technology. There are billions of Chinese and Indians who will become the equivalent of American middle class in the coming decade and no amount of conservation or carbon tax is going to prevent the acceleration of global temperatures that would cause.
